Indiana Debate Commission is holding a debate for Indiana’s U.S. Senate race on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Republican incumbent Todd Young will face off with Democrat challenger Tom McDermott, the Hammond mayor, and Libertarian challenger James Sceniak, a behavior therapist of Greenwood.

The debate will stream live from WFYI’s studio in Indianapolis and is set to last for one hour.

The debate can be watched live on the debate commission’s website, indianadebatecommission.com/live-debate-feed/ or through other media outlets such as WYFI and the Indianapolis Star, which have announced plans to carry the live stream.

The debate will be moderated by Laura Merrifield Wilson, a University of Indianapolis political science professor.
